I've come full circle/LTA & MLC 7/8

You feel like a kid because you ARE still a kid - in their eyes. My father is in his late 60s and my grandparents still treat him like a kid. Get used to it!

Hope your long weekend was good. lodo

I agree with Lodo here Kat. I can say I never felt like a MAN until my dad passed away. Everytime something broke on the car or in the house I'd call him and he'd say "I'll be down shortly" (we lived about an hour from him and mom) and he'd come and we'd fix it together. I always felt like a kid while he was alive, even though I was an adult. And the funny thing is, I think he admired ME so I'm sure if you'd have asked him, he would have told you he didn't think of me like a child, but I sure FELT like one. But once he had passed away, I realized I never really had to grow up because he (and mom) were always there to bail me out if I had any kind of trouble (money, house, car, whatever).

And you know what? It's ok to be their child. When they're not there any longer, you'll be willing to give an arm to have them there treating you like their child again. I know I would. I still think of him everyday of my life and would do anything to go fishing with him just one more time.
